Arctic Silver 5 High Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound -12g (AS5-12G-R)

If youre even looking at this then you know what it does. AS has a very high standard of quality and even the lowest grade crap they dump in the trash cans at their factory is leaps and bounds above what cpu and graphic card manufacturers seem to put on their products. This particular type is EXCELLENT for thermal distribution. For a proper example, and as an experiment, I put an i7-3770k on a Z77 Sabertooth with the thinnest amount of this compound as I possible could. The layer was as thin as paper...lets put it that way. The computer did not run cool (water cooled CPU and graphics card, btw) but it did run most games and applications just fine with the occasional overheat/blue screen/reboot. After using ArctiClean to remove the layer I put on I reapplied a more realistic layer of this compound and the CPU temperature dropped an additional 20 degrees Celsius.

It works excellent. Thanks !!!

Ill always use it. At least until I find something better.

High quality thermal compound helps keep my cpu chilly. But i will say this amount is way too much if youre jist building a singular pc

Worked great!

thas good thankssss

my ps3 got broke the cpu and i was enable to fixed whit this great product.the yellow light of death problem fix yeahhhhhhhhhhhh

In all seriousness this stuff is great. Anytime i buy a motherboard or graphics card i take off the heatsinks as soon as i unbox clean off the crapola from the factory which always seems to be worthless and glopped on and squeezed off of the chipset or gpu and onto the substrate. not cool. for the price of some of this hardware you would think they would take a bit of time to ensure a better application of TIM in the factory. On the other hand, the people making this stuff are jumping to their deaths because its such a terrible existence, so im guessing thermal paste is a ways down on the priority list. anywho, before i turn it on i put acrtic silver on it. Follow the directions to the letter and you will be pleased. Use your own method and you will probably only get oem performance so READ THE DIRECTIONS!!!

Seems to be better quality than others I have used. Thicker coverage as well. Thanks.

I have been using Arctic Silver for years now. I think it is the best stuff. When changing from ceramic paste to Arctic Silver I was able to measure a 10 degree temperature drop under similar conditions.
